In an Australian study, two sets of people were asked to complete the
same stressful tasks. The only difference: Half were told to chew
sugarless gum, too. Result: Cortisol levels in the gum chewers 16 %
lower than in the non-gum chewers! That’s because chewing gum boosts
blood flow to the brain, easing the stress response.

so go ahead...chew that gum...

blow that bubble:)

Number 2. EAT DESSERT!

see...i told you this was good:)

now, i didn't actually research this.

but i DO think that totally denying yourself is not necessary.

having a little dessert now and then...maybe even BEFORE dinner...

makes life a little SWEETER.

nothing wrong with that.

as long as it's a little.

don't lick the spoon, plate and pan like i do.

that's when you have a PROBLEM! hahaha

so, here's a little something to help you get started...

BUTTERFINGER CAKE!

Directions: Bake a yellow cake, poke holes in
it while still warm, pour a can of sweetened condensed milk over, then a
jar of smuckers caramel ice cream topping. Cool, spread with Whipped
Cream and sprinkle with crushed Butterfinger.

It may not make you younger but it WILL make life a WHOLE lot SWEETER!
